Chapter 10 Test Study Guide

Please study the following to be prepared for the test on Thursday.

Section 10.1

1. All 10 forms of energy

Section 10.3

1. Review how solids, liquids and gases behave when heated or cooled.
2. Understand how we apply our knowledge of solids liquids and gases expanding and contracting in our daily lives; e.g., leaving space for air at the top of sealed bottles of liquids. (Review package worksheets)

10.4

1. Review the three forms of thermal energy transfer (conduction, convection, and radiation) and how they work.
2. Understand how we apply our knowledge of thermal energy transfer; e.g., wearing light clothes on hot days.
